With excellent mechanical properties and distinct solidification, the AZ31B series magnesium alloy has great potential for targeting engineering applications and synthesized via die casting process found a drawback on oxidation results porosity and reduced mechanical properties. Here, the magnesium alloy AZ31B series nanocomposite was synthesized w...

Alternative fuel opportunities can satisfy energy security and reduce carbon emissions. In this regard, the hydrogen fuel is derived from the source of environmental pollutants like sewage and algae wastewater through hydrothermal gasification technique using a KOH catalyst with varied gasification process parameters of duration and temperature of...

High specific strength, strength-to-weight ratio, cheap cost, and other advantages, nanofillers are now the subject of most research on natural fibers. The current research’s main goal is to combine the Taguchi and artificial neural networks (ANN) approaches to maximize the mechanical characteristics of nanocomposites. The parameters: (i) nano-SiO2...

Potassium carbonate was tested as novel information for producing carbonaceous materials from jute cores. Two quadratic models have been developed for both answers to link the preparatory parameters: activating temperatures, molar ratio, and incubation time. The RSM and ANN models were used to improve the processing conditions to maximise the quant...

In current centuries, emphasis has moved from previous resources and compounds to lightweight substances to generate softer, most effective components for particular needs. Using organic kenaf fibers with nanoreinforced epoxy polymers in a blended microbially nanocomposite can improve properties and be environmentally friendly. Adding graphene powd...

The name shape memory alloy (SMA) reveals its behavior of being an accurate heat-sensitive material in changing its shape based on the temperature. This ample review concentrates on the current scenario of including SMA in polymer matrix composites to achieve desired objectives. Polymer-based shape memory alloys are termed shape memory polymers (SM...

Ride comfort and Road holding execution of the vehicle are the most critical factors in the suspension system performance study. Most of the time researchers assume the numerical model of vehicle suspension is a linear and detailed comparative study with the non-linear model that has not been done in previous researches. Hence, the numerical model...
